Da Tweekaz

If we go way back, it all began with a simple mixer and a set of cd-decks (pretty obvious huh?). Marcus Nordli and Kenth Kvien got their interest in electronical music way back as youngsters, looking up at the major djs. As time flew by, the both started djing and met up at a local party here in Oslo, Norway (2004). They were both djing at this party, and became friends. Marcus had been producing some cheesy dancemusic for a couple years, and Kenth got the same interest not long after they met. They started producing together, Kenth learning what Marcus knew and vice versa.
